Tick Volume Quite a few FX brokers provide the tick volume and that's how I have been 'playing' with it. See below.

:) I have landed in my jet in the middle of the desert a couple of times and with no water or map LOL How I got back to the base? Not sure…but I work on this machine all the time.

Good day to you sir, and dzien dobry, I would say, it (the emotion) is bound to be the underlying cause of one being 'stuck'. I have noticed that the same ‘surface’ emotion has different underlying causes (sometimes emotions, too) on different days. Recently after 7 long years I got to the...

Thank you for your comment. Yes, that's correct and thank GoWd for stop losses. However, this is the mechanical part of trading. Sometimes even when you are stopped out the initially anticipated condition prolongs, or as you mentioned, a new condition is emerging and requires a consideration...

I think a very good way of catching HP taking control (not only in trading) is to observe the following: “When a condition or situation that the mind has attached itself to and identified with changes or disappears, the mind cannot accept it. It will cling to the disappearing condition and...

Hi, Don't let your ego (fear from being 'ridiculed' and being wrong) stop your learning process. Better to be wrong here than in the markets. ;-) All the best!

Trips we take in the name of becoming better traders To some of you this may seem strange but here it goes. Emotions connected to being in ‘dangerous’ (loosing position in trading) situations are usually very strong and cause a lot stress to us (freeze us). It’s amazing how certain stimulus...

I think the reason for this exercise is to become aware of the ‘though/experience creates emotions’ process thus triggering certain behaviour based on our past (I feel it works the other way round too – emotion creates a thought). Thought/emotion feeds one another perpetuating the process...

dbp Hi, It's good to see you around here. I hope we are going to get into a discusion on price action with no volume to take into consideration (FX) soon. All the best to everyone.

eeee$$$$$ Howdy aLL, As we know (?) there's no volume for FX market provided - I hope and pray that one day someone is going to pull it together, and I pray I can bribe someone to do so ;-). However, if you make an assumption that a volume from one broker can be representative of the market...

Only two days ago I was a witness to a discussion between a trader with 18 years of experience a trader with about 8 days (give or take a couple) of experience. The less experienced one was arguing (opinion) that a paper loss is not a loss. It becomes a loss only when you close the position...

Aikido comes to mind.

Hi, I prefer an analogy of 'sensing' where the flow is going (like in a river) and letting it take me with it. To be able to 'sense'/observe I need to be still and present (to be in THE NOW), which forces me to let go of my 'usual self'. Still a lot of work to be done on this ;-) However, I...

I think this is hope rather than fear. In my view hope is even worse than fear. Fear makes you 'do' things whereas hope paralyses you. A very useless feeling in trading or otherwise. cheers, Robert

You just beat me to exactly the suggestion. I understand that this a public forum blah, blah, blah. However, it thread/line of thinking was started by Socrates thus I feel his rules and style apply. I don't understand how some people don't see this is about the pre-requisites for trading and NOT...
